From the list that you've given, it would appear that you have a fairly decent budget. That gives you many MANY choices, which is a blessing and a curse.
Before I can recommend anything, I need to know more about your room. Audio is a system. The room and the speakers must work together. Some speakers are designed to work particularly well in certain kinds of rooms, so knowing about the room is very important so that I can recommend speakers that will work particularly well in your room.
People always say, "listen, listen, listen". I'm not fond of that advice. The reason I'm not fond of it is because:
1) Unless you are listening IN YOUR ROOM, you really cannot possibly know how the speakers' more subtle nuances will sound once you get the speakers home. And...
2) People say to go out and listen without telling you what you should be listening for!
You might LIKE a certain speaker. Big whoop! Liking a speaker doesn't mean that it is accurate and more importantly, liking a speaker that you hear in a different room doesn't mean that you will like it in YOUR room.
Listening to many many speakers in many many rooms IS a good idea, so long as you are very familiar with accurate sound and you know a lot about the particular characteristics of each speaker and each room.
With a lot of experience, you can start to get a very good understanding of what a certain speaker characteristic will do when you put it into a particular kind of room.
For example, you can learn that a speaker designed with very wide and flat dispersion will almost always give you a very wide sweet spot. But in a large, reflective room, that kind of speaker will produce strong reflections off of the walls and in a large room, where the walls are far away from you, those reflections will reach your ears with enough of a delay that you will hear them as an echo. So that would be a bad thing! On the other hand, in a small room, the reflections will create a comb filter response, which the human brain can easily ignore (so long as you are not rocking from side to side
) and thus, the sound will be clearer in the small room than in the large room. If the room has lots of absorptive materials, however, then the reflections will be curtailed and you can likely use those speakers in any size room so long as it is not reflective.
But how do you know if the speaker has wide, flat dispersion? How do you know if the room is reflective or dampened? Well...that's all a matter of experience, asking questions, reading, etc. etc.
But to me, the point of a forum like this one is that you can take advantage of other people's knowledge! Should you listen for yourself a lot? Yes! But you should not just rely on what you like. While you are listening, you should be reading about speaker design, reading reviews, learning about room acoustics and talking all of it over with knowledgeable people.
So I don't like the "just go out and listen" advice - it is over-simplified.
If you can give me lots of details about your room (pictures are a BIG help
), I can help you to understand some of the acoustic characteristics of your room. That will lead to recommendations for certain speaker characteristics, which will, in turn, lead to specific speaker recommendations
